We are glad to confirm that we will share the Offroad Mechanic Simulator demo during the upcoming Steam Next Fest (Oct 3-10)!
Since the early August playtests, the dev team worked hard to deliver the demo for the upcoming Steam Next Fest. Thanks to your very insightful feedback from back then (we received a few hundred filled questionaries!) we were able to look at the game with a fresh approach. We really hope you will notice significant improvements when it comes to gameplay - be it the ‘mechanical’ part or the offroad one! We will reveal it in more detail in the next blog!
Again, we will ask for your feedback (the demo will contain a questionary) and we will be, of course, thunderously grateful if you decide to share your thoughts again!
We do plan some live- streams as well:
👉Monday (3 Oct) - 1pm EDT/ 10am PDT/ 7pm CET 👉Thursday (6 Oct) - 1pm EDT/ 10am PDT/ 7pm CET

Steam playtest is over!
Hi Offroaders,
Offroad Mechanic Simulator playtest is now officially over! Thanderous thanks for your participation. A few thousand participants, and several hundred surveys! Thanks for being with us!!! 🤜
We are now analyzing your feedback and will definitely consider it while further working on the game. As we have informed you before, we have already implemented some of your ideas during the playtest. Hope you guys noticed!
This is by no means a final summary, but we already know some things you liked the most during the tests. You mentioned the following positive gameplay elements (among many else!):
A unique blend of mechanics and driving parts of the game
mud and ground physics, terrain deformation
visual aspects of replaceable car parts, level, quality of details
You also gave us some feedback on topics that you liked a little less;). We will work on and develop these elements in the near future. These are elements such as (but not only these, we know!):
graphics quality (off-road car, tires, mud, general, vehicle textures, lights, and shadows)
camera movement in the workshop, non-intuitive system for selecting parts that you want to disassemble or assemble
cars hanging on objects such as small plants or the bridge
Thank you for your help! You will definitely have a chance to play Offroad Mechanic Simulator prior to the release again as we plan to release a Steam fest demo in one of the upcoming editions (Autumn or Winter). So, please stay tuned, and if you have any additional thoughts please shout them out in the comments and forums!
Thanks for your support!!! Gameformatic and Image Power team

OFFROAD MECHANIC - PLAYTESTS POSTPONED TO JULY 27!
Howdy offroaders!
Just quick info to let you know that we had to postpone playtests a bit. There are two main reasons:
👉 We are now implementing some crucial mechanics and - as always in gamedev - it turned out that we need a few more days
👉 We have some problems with the Steam playtest tool. As you can see there seems to be a small technical problem with the name of the playtest on the game's Steam site ('Join the Uninitialized' instead of 'Join the Playtest'). But… that won't stop you from signing up - the sign-ups still work fine! So go ahead and ask for access and don't worry about the name!
It’s the first time you will be able to see the game in action on Steam! Sign up NOW and join the Playtests starting on JULY 27!
After we launch the playtest, we will impatiently await your feedback. You can leave your comments in three ways:
Sign up for 🚙Offroad Mechanic Simulator🚙 playtest on Steam now! The number of slots is limited! Playtest will launch on JULY 13. Here's a gameplay trailer from the latest build of our game:
